Welcome to Sts. Markella and Demetrios Church. Our Parish has been serving the Emerald Coast since 1964, and had the blessing of opening a beautiful new church building in 2007. We have a history of being a very active, youth oriented Parish, and offer a full range of ministries and services. We would love for you to visit. Please call or email if we can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Rev. Fr. John Wallace
Presiding Priest
